No, sadly refugees are already treated quite badly here. Germany took in a respectable amount but then left it to the EU border countries to either deal with them with little to no help or just shut themselves off completely. :( What would really be needed is a program to redistribute resources from the wealthy profiting from neocolonialism/climate change to those affected by it, but it's generally framed as if the general population would need to pay for that which turns them against the refugees.
Think it's called Socialist utopia? With you big dog, that would be fantastic.
They also take advantage of people's lack of math skills to present scary absolute numbers of immigrants that are not that high per capita.
